Evan's place was great for a backpacker on a budget. When you first enter, you're greeted by his three adorable huskies and an envelope with your name on it that contains all the details you'll need to survive in the area.

The room itself is very clean and cools down fairly quickly with the provided AC (on JET mode!) and fan. Evan also provides the basic amenities such as fresh towels, toilet paper, and small packets of soap & shampoo. The bathroom and shower is a dormitory-type setting that's at the end of the hallway; sometimes it gets a little hot because it's not air-conditioned, but it's Bangkok, right?
I have to note that the room does not have any windows, so it might be a little strange to wake up to a completely dark room. Also, due to the size, it might be a little hard to hang out in there for an extended period of time.

The best part about this accommodation is the area it's situated in. It's within a quick 20 baht mototaxi ride from the Lumphini MRT, which is a few stops from the main Sukhumvit tourist area, so it's easy to travel around the city. Nearby, there are great restaurants serving both western and Thai styles right along the street as well as laundry services, cafes, and cheap massage places.

All in all I recommend Evan's place for the budget-minded backpacker!
